Program

Our summer school is a five-day program (Monday to Friday, Sunday and Saturday are arrival and departure days) packed with stimulating mathematical content and enriching cultural experiences. Participants are advised to arrive to Ljubljana on Sunday, June 29th, and depart on Saturday, July 5th.

Our mornings will be dedicated to three minicourses:

• Marjeta Kramar Fijavž: Think positive: On positive matrices, operators, and semigroups
• Daniel Smertnig: Linear recurrences: A short journey across number theory, dynamics, and decidability
• Ada Šadl Praprotnik: From polynomial to rational: An introduction to Bézier curves, surfaces, and splines

In the afternoons, attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the exciting research conducted by various local research groups, covering the following areas:

• Algebra and Functional Analysis
• Complex Analysis
• Discrete Mathematics
• Foundations of Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science
• Geometry
• Numerical Analysis
• Probability, Statistics and Financial Mathematics
• Topology

Alongside mathematical content, we’ll provide valuable insights into master’s and doctoral programs, including the chance to pursue a double degree with the University of Trieste for master’s students. Additionally, we’ll offer information on arrival, accommodation, and studying in Ljubljana, along with perspectives from current foreign master’s and doctoral students on life and academics in the city.

Throughout the week, we’ll organize engaging cultural activities, starting with a guided tour of Ljubljana on the first day and an excursion to Bled on Wednesday.
